Amherst Dessert Crawl Returns to Downtown on March 28

AMHERST — The Amherst Business Improvement District (BID) invites the community to indulge in the second annual Downtown Dessert Crawl on Saturday, March 28 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Participants can explore downtown at their own pace, sampling desserts at each stop and exploring local businesses along the way. The event also includes a scavenger hunt, with prizes for those who complete activities throughout the crawl.

This self-guided adventure features dessert samples from local favorites across downtown, including Masuda’s Cafe, GoBerry ’n Cream, Kwench, Inn on Boltwood, LimeRed Teahouse, Amherst Oyster Bar, Protocol, Aster & Pine Market, the Amherst College Store, UMass Downtown, Dulces by Vera, and La Veracruzana.

Tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for youth (12 and under). Wristbands need to be picked up at the Amherst Visitors Center at 35 South Pleasant St. on the day of the event. Last year, tickets sold out, so early purchase is recommended.

“The Dessert Crawl is a great way to bring people downtown to enjoy a variety of sweet treats while spending time in Amherst,” said John Page, executive director of the Amherst BID. “Events like this create a fun and creative experience for the community while also driving activity and supporting our local businesses.”
